Hummer!

A female great blue skimmer used the perch outside my window.  Later I found a blue dasher there.  An amberwing used the rue as a perch in the gusty wind.  Bees and wasps roamed the tops of the mountain mint.  A fiery skipper left when I noticed it.  I rescued the first sidewalk tiger beetle of the season along with innumerable May beetles

Three titmice came for seeds at breakfast.  The male hummer came for lunch but always had his head down when the shutter clicked.  He came back at suppertime.   Finally, he posed just as the rain began.  The dim light made his throat more orange than ruby.  A mockingbird wanted a bedtime snack.
